What happened to my post in the Howto section

I posted something in the howto section, which I understand needs to be checked, but it has just disappeared without me being informed.
 
It is probably being reviewed by the moderators. During that time it won't be available, not even to you. (I was caught by that the first time I posted in how tos, and wound up DM-ing a moderator to ask why. )
Is there a list of moderators somewhere?

I don't want to be pestering the likes of SirDice with trivia like this.

maybe there is a general moderators mailbox.
 
If you poke around the forums you should see who's labled moderator. I don't think there's a list though. (Checks forum rules and such). Nope, doesn't seem to be. Just be a bit patient, it shouldn't take more than 24-48 hours.
 
This was my clever plot. Say you don't know how to do something, or better yet, say it's not possible, and almost certainly, someone with the answer will post. :)

There are various old cliches, they were mostly about usenet. The classic example I remember was if you post a question, and no one answers after a few days, just post, Sheesh, Linux is garbage. I could do this in 5 minutes with Windows, and then, the saying goes, you'll get pages of advice on how to do it---of course, first they'll insult you for being so stupid. (Which drhowarddrfine didn't do, thank you.) <bows>
 
Oh, and just checked, nothing disappeared.

Yep, that seems to be the case here.
 
Posts perhaps, thread starters probably not. If the thread starter is in the queue (because the OP edited it for example) the whole thread kind of disappears.
 
Well, FWIW, my phone is broken which holds the account for the forum. Since spare parts are out of stock around the world, this requires actually fixing the broken usb board.
 
Almost all members that show as 'deleted' requested deletion.
In a very small number of instances it was someone who got banned but who left behind some informative posts that we didn't want to lose.
In that case we delete the profile and user data,. but keep the posts.
